The no and officers clubs at the base lost More than $3.3 million from 1984 to 1988. A time when almost All other clubs in Safe were turning hefty profits the report said. At the end of fiscal 1983, the no club had $1.5 million in assets and prof its of $332,000 for the year. By april1987, All reserves had run dry the Check ing account was overdrawn by $709,000, and other debts totalled almost $600.000. In fiscal 1987 alone the club paid almost$10,000 in Bank overdraft charges. Lack of oversight from Safe was a prime Factor in the problems at the clubs Cath charged. Internal controls were so bad that the auditors had trouble Tell ing where the Money came from anywhere it went he said the report said the command indirectly encouraged the mismanagement through such actions As naming thera Stcin no club manager the Best in Europe for 1984. When that club lost More than $400,000, the seven other managers competing for the award had clubs that were making profits of$150.000 to $400,000. In its first year under new manage ment in fiscal 1988. The Ramstein no club showed a profit of$265,000. The enlisted people at Ramstein saw their financially sound clubs go into the Hole several million dollars Cath said. These operations lost $10,000 a Day As management was diverted to throw lavish parties for thousands of people often using Mission related air Craft hangars for ballrooms and catering special functions for High ranking personnel. The report also slammed base officials for almost tripling the Cost of a renova Tion project for the officers club without informing Congress or air Force officials in Washington. Cath said the project was not a Reno vation but rather a major expansion and addition to an existing club that was masked As a Hodgepodge of minor pro  the planned renovation became a new construction project when base officials found major structural deficiencies inthe old building and decided to almost totally raze it the report said. The project was approved at a Cost of $4.5 million but actually Cost $12.8 Mil lion or $8.3 million More than either the air Force or Congress had approved it said. Base officials improperly mixed tax payer Money and non appropriate funds from other accounts to pay for the soaring Cost of the project which was driven up in part by the falling Exchange rate of the Dollar the report said. We had an officers club that began As a Volkswagen and ended As a Mack truck rolling Over anyone who got in its Way Cath said. Air Force officials agreed with almost All the findings of the report and said additional internal reviews arc under Way to tighten oversight of mar accounting procedures. Specifically the air Force has instituted stricter guidance on the use of non appropriated and taxpayer funds in club operations and requirements for More frequent and detailed inventories. Other new guidance instructions pro Hibit the replacement of substantial portions of buildings using taxpayer funds earmarked for repair and maintenance and order full disclosure of construction costs during All phases of a project. The report said no disciplinary actions have been taken against those involved in the Ramstein mismanagement that might serve As a  but air Force officials said the serv ice s office of special investigations a boiling fab in Washington is conduct ing a probe to Sec if any civil or criminal charges arc warranted. A staff member on the mar pane said Lealh will hold hearings on the re port in late october As soon As work on the fiscal 1990 defense budget is completed. I d imagine the air Force will face some Tough questions the staff member said. Panama from Page 1 .
